dose of aceclofenac in child - #27493

Aryan

I am really worried about my kid and need some advice. My 8-year-old has been dealing with this awful pain in his knee for the past week. Took him to the doc, and they said it might be growing pains but gave me a prescription for aceclofenac to help with the discomfort. I never heard of aceclofenac before and now I'm just confused about the proper dose of aceclofenac in child. The doc said to start with a lower dose but didn’t really specify what that was other than to give half a tablet. The problem is, he’s not the biggest fan of taking medicine, and I don't know if half a tablet will even do anything! I don't want to underdose him and have him suffer, but I also don't want to overdo it! Is there a standard dose of aceclofenac in child or should it be adjusted based on weight? Like, is there a safety concern when it comes to giving aceclofenac to kids? My older sister said she heard different things about how pain meds can affect kids, and now I'm second-guessing everything. Anyone have insight on this? What do you think is the safe dose of aceclofenac in child for someone his age? I just want to make sure I’m doing right by him without causing any issues.
